               Every time a new season comes, change is inevitable: a change: in weather, style and even moods.  We, as consumers, partake in its constant reinterpretation of the season’s looks and inspirations through referencing (and eventually incorporating) styles from runways, print and television to our everyday ensemble. Indeed, media has helped us a lot in terms of dressing up.  In finding our own niche, own style, own taste, and translate it into real life street smart fashion.  “There’s an overflowing  sense of individualism and identity reflected in the dress styles of the students nowadays,” says Cara, a Clothing Tech graduate. I’d like to think you’d agree with me that students singled out in this article fit the bill.  See what our male respondents have to say about our featured fashionistas.



Risa Crisostomo, Econ, 3rd year
“I like my clothes lightweight and breezy”

What she’s wearing:
rompers – Bangkok Department Store,
shoes - H&M, bag – Cambridge satchel,
necklace – Spain tiangge
The look is kept breezy and cool with the flowy rompers
accentuated with her brown belt. Her orange satchel bag adds
vibrant and a playful feel. The casual but still chic blue oxfords,
nude lips, and beaming smile finish off this get-up.

What he says:
“I like her look. Very girly with the florals and all,
but her look is very pleasant to look at,” says J.M, BS Math



Louise Mopa, Econ

What she’s wearing:top – given as a gift, pants – Robinsons department store,
shoes – Little Thing She Needs, bag – US

Aztec prints are a big hit this summer. These 
prints add a funky
twist to any outfit.  She toned down her bright colored tank top
with slim cut black pants and flats.

What he says:
“She looks comfortable with her outfit. 






Klaudine Moreno,  Econ

What she’s wearing:

top – OP, bag, given as a gift,
shoes – Payless, pants – HK

The go-to button down cropped top. They come in just about
every color and print you can imagine, and they have a
great fit – they’re loose in all the right places without
making you look like a clothespin. Her bright fuchsia
lace-up sandals and bag accentuated her black
and white ensemble.
What he says:
Her bag and shoes are too pink.. girls! But I must say, she
pulled the look off. She looks cute,” jokes Marlon,  BA Comm.






Meggy Katigbak, Stat major
“Im a shirt-shorts type of person”

What she’s wearing:
top – Bayo, shorts – Bench,
shoes – What A Girl Wants, bag – Nine West

The eyelet blouse adds a modern twist on the regular black
plain top. Her big leather box-type bag adds a chic feel to her
classic black and white ensemble.

What he says:“I wouldn’t mind seeing this kind of look every day.
Not too casual, not too formal,” says Heinrich, BS Physics.




Raine Milo, BS Bio
“All my clothes are from tiangges and bazaars.
I don’t like branded things”

What she’s wearing:
top, bag and shoes – bazaar

The self-confessed fashionista, Raine takes inspiration from her
favourite fashion bloggers. This is her way of expressing
herself, she says. The pastel tones of her outfit, that match
her bubbly personality as well, are all very
pleasing and cool to the eyes.


What he says:
“She reminds me of Tinkerbelle! Although I find her denim shorts a
bit too short, I guess her outfit’s a perfect fit for summer,”
says Mikko,  BA History.




Joanna Alonzo, 1st year, CBA
“Animal prints are my favourite. They add character
and attitude to any outfit”

What she’s wearing:
top – given as a gift, shorts – from her old pants

Her sheer top with leopard print linings scream summer.
With its lightweight material
 and her customized shorts,
it all works together in an accidentally-chic style that
everyone’s always trying to get.

What he says:
“I like how its leopard print everything – from
her top to her shoes.  Its casual but
cute.” Says Gerard, BA Comm


          As summer classes heat up the already sweltering months of April and May, these chic students can school everyone on cool, comfy and casual day time dressing.
